I'm not in a flame war with any of you. I don't hate any of you guys.
And I'm not feuding with anyone. I don't understand why you guys have to
be hating each other. I said "jap" and people are all over my ass. I
stated in a previous post I didn't mean it. I regret saying it, not
because it was wrong, because I did nothing wrong, but because of the
hoopla it created.

You can flame me all you want. I hope it makes your life worth while, I
even hope it makes you feel like a big man. I will defend myself as
needed. You think your flames intimidate me? Well you have another thing
coming.

You flame me because I speak my mind? If I was a man you'd say I had
balls. But since I'm female, you say I'm a bitch.

You hate me because I speak my mind? Why can't you guys just let it roll
off your back? That's what's wrong with the US, people getting pissed
off over absolutly nothing.

I have nothing but love for all of you people, I even forgive the people
who flamed me. Because their not spiritual evolved enough to think above
it.

I said "jap"...I wonder how you all in your real lives?

God Bless...

I used to manage a Subway when I was in high school, I always said, "Would
you like some japs on your sub?" (referring to jalapenos) nobody got on my
ass...
Too wordy, you can get your point across easier. Try some commas for
starters. -5

You said "coming" -1

If you were a man, we'd call you a troll. Need a comma between "man, you'd"

This makes no sense. Admit that your prior post was racist and people
may be more inclined to think of you as more than a lame-brained bigot.
And keep your posts focused on wrestling. The 13-year-ols in the TWO
may be fascinated because you are (allegedly) a woman, but most of us
could care less. We are interested in your wrestling opinion (such that
it is) not in you personally. So stop trying to get heat. It's boring
and fills up an incredible amount of space. I hate having to sift
through this shit to talk wrestling with real fans.

Are you really this narrow-minded, Alicia, or is it just more "heat"
generation?
I'm far from the most PC person on the planet, but there are certain
things you just do not say. And it is a lame excuse to say "I
just didn't feel like typing Japanese..." Wow, those extra five letters you
know.
If I remember correctly, you went absolutely crybaby mode when you thought
people thought you were a slut. Doesn't feel good to be labeled, does it?

People flaming you made you beg the newsgroup not to think bad of your
reputation...I'd say they efficiently intimidated you.
Funny thing is, this really isn't a flame. I could be much harsher. I'm
just hoping you see the hypocrisy of what you say and then how you act/post
a day later.

> You flame me because I speak my mind? If I was a man you'd say I had

No, if you were a male you'd be called "bastard" <laugh>. Seriously,
being female as actually probably saved you the severe wrath of some. You
want to see flames? Watch what flux, PeteKOF, etc. do to people. *That's*
a flame.

See previous part on hypocrisy.

Ok, attempted to translate into English:
What you are wondering is "I said the word "jap" ... is this all you people
have to worry about in your real lives?" <closest interpretation I can think
of>.
I dunno...it seems to have consumed a lot of your time...what does all
this posting mean to your "real" life, Alicia?

You did do something wrong, in your mind you probably never do anything
wrong and it's always someone else with the problem. Maybe not, but
that's what you're showing me.

Thanks we will

I hope it makes your life worth while,

No, more important things make my life worthwhile, this just gives me
something to do while I have nothing to do at work.

> I even hope it makes you feel like a big man.

This is really cheap, you were the bully in the first place when you
called someone a JAP. Quit being such a suck.

Not well.

You think your flames intimidate me?

They aren't supposed to intimidate you, I hope mine make you think and
maybe change your opinion on the subject a little bit. I have no desire
to intimidate or scare you and quite frankly I think you're hiding
behind your skirt and playing the abused little girl simply because it
suits your purpose. You would have salvaged a ton of dignity of you had
guts to just admit that what you said was wrong, what you're doing now
is transparent and ridiculous.

Well you have another thing

ooooooooh


>
> You flame me because I speak my mind?

I flame you because you say Jap not because you speak your mind. You
don't speak your mind you barely say anything. If saying "Tong is a Jap
name" is called speaking your mind then your mind is pretty nonexistent.

If I was a man you'd say I had

If you were a man I'd call you racist. But since you're female I'll
call you racist. Now you're definitely hiding behind your skirt.

>

I don't hate anyone, I am incapable of hate.

Why can't you guys just let it roll

Because when you do that racism snowballs and gets worse and worse, why
are you so weak as to say something stupid and then cry like this when
you get the criticism you should've known you'd get. Did you really
think you could call someone a racist name and have nobody challenge it?

That's what's wrong with the US, people getting pissed

Racism is not "absolutely nothing".

Oh that's so kind of you, do you forgive people for being Japanese?

Because their not spiritual evolved enough to think above

So racism is spiritual evolution is it? Please define "Spiritual
Evolution" that oughta be good for a laugh.

I still think you're in the wrong. Not because you're a woman, not
because I'm "spiritually unevolved", not cause I have no life and not
not cuz I'm trying to "intimidate" you, but because I ACTUALLY think you
are wrong. Can you handle the idea of someone legitimately disagreeing
with you? I don't think you can. Tiny minds have huge egos and rarely
admit when they're wrong.

I think it should read " Because they're not spiritually evolved enough to
think above it." Though it still doesn't make any sense.
I have no idea what it is to "think above it." Maybe that's what's wrong
with the U.S.
I used to wonder "how you all in your real lives" too, but then I finished
3d grade and stopped spewing nonsense.

You want me to be quite honest with you, when someone flames me, or has
something bad to say I usually don't read the whole post. You caught me.

I'm weird..so sue me. I still want all the morons, jerks and assholes to
be blessed by God and live a good life as well. Were all human beings,
although I may not agree with you. But I will tell you when I disagree
even if that does include calling someone a name, like dickhead.

God loves each and every one of you people...

Must be hard to take constructive criticism if you tune out bad things
said about something you did, etc.
And what in my post takes it from being a disagreement with your
philosophy/actions to a flame? I'm kinda interested in what you define
"flame" as being. I don't call you names (except echo words you have used
in a post like the plea for your rep), so does saying you appear to be a bit
of a hypocrite qualify? Have you shown otherwise?

That's fine and noble (no sarcasm, actually)...but do you mean it? Can
you rip someone's character and then do that? I'd think that in replacement
for foul language in your disagreements, you'd be civil. That alone would
replace a hundred "blessings."

> God loves each and every one of you people...

But does Alicia? Since you are being Biblical about it, I'm sure you know
what I'm talking about.

I try to see the divine in everyone. And about being biblical..I don't
read the bible. The only scriptures I read are of the Vedic kind. I
subscribe to eastern religion like Hinduism. But I'm not Hindu and I'm
not diehard I still think they have a wonderful veiw of life, God,
sexuality and just about everything else. Hell, they invented the Kama
Sutra. Christians get on my nerves with there everyone's a sinner
bullshit.

Well, maybe there's hope for you yet. Assuming you don't let your temper
get the best of you. Do you see where I'm coming from with how it looks a
little funny to be giving good will to people you are tearing a new hole?

There is nothing wrong with trying to see the divine in others. That is a
good trait (see? I can be nice).
Well, not all Christians are like that (I'm not), but there certainly are
a good share. Any Christian who calls someone else a sinner is forgetting a
principle rule of the religion to begin with: God is judge. But I'll digress.
